Ever since I was 11 years old, I was a huge fan of Nintendo. I was massively captivated by their innovation with their game consoles year after year. I would spend hours and days on end on my Wii playing The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, a game that quickly became my favorite. It was true fun that could last forever, honestly. The days of the Nintendo Switch had soon arrived, and it was a masterpiece that spoke for itself – it acted as both a home and mobile console while keeping the intended gaming experience. Even today, I am still awed by Nintendo's marvels.

Not only had that changed, but the Error ID changed to "666-666-666-666"

I felt my blood boil. I was breathing heavily. Did my system become haunted? I shut it off again, this time booting in into Recovery Mode. (Power + Volume Up + Volume Down) I was greeted with a message removing any liability from Nintendo for any arbitrary changes I did to the system, which was understandable. I accepted and pressed Volume Up three times to proceed. It took a rather unusual time to load, but I waited patiently since I knew my system wasn't working properly. Then I was greeted with the worst surprise
Why would Nintendo concoct something so scary to inform the user that their Switch was defective? Have they really gone back to the Metroid Prime days where they made the death screens so dark that I once had to cry to my mom about some stupid scary shit? Wow,
